History: World TeamTennis was co‐founded in the 1970s by Billie Jean King and Larry King. The WTT Pro League first hit the courts in 1974 for a five‐year run. After a short hiatus, the League returned in 1981 and has been a highlight of the annual U.S. tennis calendar since. The WTT Pro League, which begins its 36th season in July 2011, is a showcase for three generations of tennis standouts, including legends, current tour players and future champions. Since the League’s debut, virtually every major champion of the Open era has played World TeamTennis including Pete Sampras, Andy Roddick, Kim Clijsters, Steffi Graf, Anna Kournikova, Andre Agassi, Venus and Serena Williams, Martina Hingis, Maria Sharapova, Lindsay Davenport, John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors, Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert. Updated: 6/21/2011 Television: Tennis Channel, plus a series of regional telecasts with media partners including Comcast SportsNet. Tennis Channel will televise five WTT matches (live) along with the pre‐season preview show ‐ WTT GameChanger. Harry Cicma hosts the preview show, which includes interviews with Billie Jean King, John McEnroe, Kim Clijsters and many more stars.

Sponsors: Official WTT Pro League sponsors for the 2011 season include Acura, DecoTurf, GEICO and Wilson Racquet Sports. The United States Tennis Association (USTA) is a minority owner and promotional partner of World TeamTennis. WTT and the USTA are teaming up on number of initiatives, including development of the youth market through junior team tennis programs. CEO/Commissioner: Ilana Kloss WTT Co‐Founders: Billie Jean King, Larry King WTT BY THE NUMBERS . Players: In 2011, more than 50 pros representing 15 countries will play in the WTT Pro League. Format: In the WTT format, each team is comprised of two men, two women and a coach. Team matches consist of five sets, with one set each of men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles. The first team to reach five games wins each set. A nine‐point tiebreaker is played if a set reaches four games all. One point is awarded for each game won. If necessary, Overtime and a Supertiebreaker are played to determine the winner of the match. Matches: The nine teams will travel more than 75,000 miles to play 66 matches in 21 days. Updated: 6/21/2011 MORE ABOUT WORLD TEAMTENNIS o THIS IS THE 36TH SEASON OF WORLD TEAMTENNIS: The 36th season of the WTT Pro League runs July 4‐21, concluding with the WTT Finals Weekend, July 22‐24, at the Family Circle Tennis Center in Charleston, S.C. o WTT WAS FOUNDED IN THE 1970s ON THE PHILOSOPHY OF GENDER EQUITY. WTT co‐ founder Billie Jean King simply says, “If you have ever seen a WTT match you have seen my philosophy of life in action – men and women, competing together, on a team and both genders making equal contributions to the result.” o VERY COMPETITIVE TENNIS: While World TeamTennis is fun for the fans and players, it’s also very competitive tennis. The players take the matches seriously – it’s exciting, quality tennis. The format features cumulative scoring so every game counts. o FAN INTERACTION: WTT is a unique experience for players and the crowd. The fans are very close to the action. The atmosphere gives the players an opportunity to meet a lot of the fans and give back to people who have supported WTT for years. Teams host kids clinics each night before matches and children age 16 and under can come on the court after every WTT match and get player autographs. o THREE GENERATIONS: WTT showcases three generations of tennis players – legends, current players and up‐and‐comers. Gives the younger players a chance to play with and learn from the more experienced players. o INTERNATIONAL TENNIS SHOWCASE: In 2011, more than 50 players from 15 countries are expected to play in the WTT Pro League. o SINGLES & DOUBLES: WTT matches feature singles, doubles and mixed doubles which allows fans to see some players in a new environment – all in less than three hours. o INNOVATIONS: World TeamTennis always tries new things that make the sport more fan‐friendly – playing let serves, substitutions, instant replay, on‐court coaching, music between points, names on back of players shirts, letting fans keep balls that are hit into the stands, multi‐colored courts – it’s a little different but it brings the fans closer to the game.

    THE US OPEN T O Throughout its 133-year history, the US Open has dared its entrants to dream U R I N big, to strive for excellence in each and every match, and in turn the Open has N F A O done the same. It has moved from the West Side Tennis Club in Forest Hills to the M USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, one of the largest public tennis facili - E N ties in the world, and plays its marquee matches in Arthur Ashe Stadium, the T largest tennis stadium in the world. Over the years, the US Open has drawn inspiration from tennis heroes such as Billie Jean King and Arthur Ashe, as well as the innumerable world-class players who have taken part in the event and, of course, from the hundreds of thousands of fans whose dedication to the sport and the F G A event have made the US Open a true sports and entertainment spectacular. In fact, more than R C O I L 700,000 fans on-site make the US Open the world’s largest-attended annual sporting event, and U I T N more than 53 million online visitors plus a global television audience share in the thrill and excite - Y D & ment each year. S Starting with Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day—the world's largest single-day, grass-roots tennis and entertainment event—straight through Finals Weekend, the US Open honors its future and its past, celebrating those who have made the tournament what it is today while also focusing on the next generation that will write tennis history well into the coming decades.
